LAM Late Spring Fete 

Following the awesome Spring Fete in April we are back at the Vanilla Alternative to take advantage of the great weather to have another outdoor shopping event with beer garden and food.  The event is ticket in advance only and may well sell out given how popular the last one was.  Tickets are non refundable unless you are symptomatic and need to isolate and non-transferable (or if your in a high covid area such as Bedford and should thus be remaining at home).

We have secured the use of the outdoor facilities and grounds of a site with no neighbours to worry about.  The site will enable us to set up and outdoor market with stalls covered with their own gazebos, our hosts will provide an outside bar and BBQ with plenty of space for those who want to picnic and catch up with their friends while maintaining your appropriate social distance.

If you are symptomatic please do not attempt to attend, you will be rejected at the door.

Everyone who comes onto site will be screened for temperature, above 38C will result in secondary screening via non invasive pulse oximetry, fail to have a blood oxygen above 90% without valid medical reason any your whole party will be denied entrance to the event and your tickets refunded.  All guests, staff and crew will be screened to reduce the risk of anyone asymptomatic getting on site and guests are requested to be mindful that different people have different needs and standards for social distancing. 

We will have some of the finest fetish fetish artists and craftspeople on display with a range of clothing, accessories and toys for a rich and vibrant shopping experience.  Our traders are known for their quality, knowledge and friendliness some of the many reasons why we support them.  LAM has always been more than just shopping, its one of the easiest way to develop your kink skills within an open and accepting kink+ environment.

If you want to bring your own food you will need 1 picnic pass per 2 guests.  As the site is licensed you are not permitted to bring your own drinks onto site.

Entertainment

As performances are once again allowed we have booked two fine acts to entertain you, we will be welcoming to the stage The diva of whips LadyVeil to crack things off with a whip medley and later we will put something on stage to replace the performer who dropped out last minute.  The performances will be at 3pm and 4pm, we will also have "stage performance" of Healthy Mental Practices Live at 2pm to make the day as "normal LAM" as possible.  

There is amble parking on site for 100+ cars with amazing access to major transport routes.  We are investigating public transport options but it would be a Saturday rural service at best.

There will be no play area but there is plenty of space to bring blankets and have a picnic (so long as you comply with the guidelines at the time).

We will install a wifi network to enable the drive through shopping and will try to extend that through the social area with a solar wifi network.

Toilet facilities are available on site but the outdoor nature of the event means it would not be suitable for indoor wheelchair users other than the drive through video shopping.

Details of the location will be sent to ticket holders only as a PDF prior to the event.  Well behaved dogs on leads are permitted so long as their owners agree to be responsible for them. 

Best dressed

As the weather is going to be awesome we are holding a best dressed competition.  All you need to do is dress to impress and be on site by 1:30 when the winner will get £50 in on the day shopping cash.

How to get the details

Once you purchase a ticket you will be redirected to a page, click on the link to download the PDF, your tickets will be sent as a separate email.

Hope to see you all there from a distance (of course).

Covid regulations

The event is fully compliant with covid regulations and the guidelines for England which apply to all events apply to this one as well.

Sanitation stations are present throughout the event which guests, crew and traders are encouraged to use. The crew and traders will have all tested with lateral flow test kits on the morning of the event, we encourage others to do the same now that the kits are more widely available.

This is also why all events are currently ticket in advance only and will not be available on the door.  The deadline for Early bird tickets is 16th May 5pm and General admission 28th May 11pm, after this only last minute full price tickets are available.  There is a maximum of 500 tickets for this event.
